How can minimizing millimeters save millions of dollars?

Heavy equipment and huge buildings do not mean there is a lot extra space. In fact, tight tolerances for measurements are more critical in this arena. If it doesn’t line up, production stops along with profits. Our team is one of only a few in this market that can provide critical skill on such large-scale construction projects. We know that steel needs to line up on many levels and in many directions to adequately support structures.
